Maple syrup is awfully good on a lot of things. Orange juice with a bit of maple syrup or honey can make a very nice glaze too. Especially with a bit of srirachi or other hot sauce.
Never have. Perfect pizza?
And here I thought my husband was super handy ;-). Whipping up the tool you need to make pizza from scratch? Amazing.
That’s exactly what I use mine for!
I tried it once on potatoes, but I didn’t see the benefit as opposed to the work.
But it’s great for squeezing out steamed spinach, when you want to use it in a quiche or other recipe.

I lost weight by eating mainly proteins and vegetables. I gave up pasta and substituted rice. I also got rid of most oils (including olive oil), but I still use butter.
I find eggs are an excellent source of protein. I made all kind of omelets. It’s also a good way to use up leftovers.
I’m jealous. (On a diet :-(

In NY you should be able to find a good fish market. Try jumbo fluke, sword, halibut, flounder, or rockfish. If you like stronger, oily fish, get some mackerel, bluefish, or barracuda. That only scratches the surface.
BTW - Tilapia are scat eaters. There are a lot better fish to fry.
Believe it or not, I went to shoprite and midnight and they had a huge selection. I was shocked.
But in Brooklyn, forget about it, you could probably find an awesome place. Im on staten island. I should look some places up but there are even big ones here, I heard.
If you have a Big Green Egg there are spacers with a window to slide a pie in to a pre-heated stone. You can get a higher temperature from a wood or coal fire that will also add a smokey flavor.
“It doesn’t splatter bacon grease all over the inside of your microwave?”
I get very minimal splatter. The directions call for placing a paper towel over the top and that seems to keep the splatter way down.
“If you have a Big Green Egg...”
I got my daughter and soon to be son-in-law one as a pre-wedding present. Oh goodness...heavenly bbq! Now that’s a good investment.
I usually saute fish, but may try this, or a sauted version with this sauce. Always looking for a new fish topping.
Where is the dill and garlic?
You do not want to know how much raw Ahi poke and sashimi I have consumed in the last ten years or so. Likely more that than the total of cooked tuna of the vast majority of Americans have had in their lives.
As far as perfectly (or barely) cooked Ahi, still ruby red in the middle, if you ever get to a Roy's restaurant, have the seared Ahi appetizer, it will change your mind. It does need to be top grade fish though, most probably is not.
That actually sounds like a delicious recipe.
Gadgets! You’ve found one of my weaknesses!
I just picked up a new-in-the-box deep fryer at Goodwill 2 days ago. I have more other gadgets than you can shake a stick at. But, I do actually use them, and most were bought on sale, so there :P
I have a bad shoulder, so some cooking gadgets are necessary.
“I recently bought a microwave bacon rack”
A while back on a whim I cut 4 pieces of bacon in half and put them on a large paper plate with another paper plate on top. I nuked it for about 4 minutes and had perfect crispy bacon. No mess, clean up and less bacon smell throughout the house. Plus the bacon drippings collected on the bottom plate can be used to fry up your eggs. My go to method now.
